BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 29/11/2023

Natasha puts her foot down, and Ian believes in seizing the day.

Alice visits Ian, who’s having second thoughts about resigning from Grey Gables. He still doesn’t trust Adil, though. Alice tells Ian about her lovely first date with Harry, but she’s cancelled their second one tonight. She’s scared the relationship won’t work out and she’ll start drinking again. It happened to a woman at AA and she’s heard other stories too. She can’t take that risk. Ian persuades her to think more positively and Alice agrees she’ll call Harry back to set up another date.

Tom gets Emma to take a photo of Fallon handing over the keys at the end of her last day in charge of the Tearoom. Then he shows them the design for the renamed ‘Terum’, which fits in with the new Scandinavian aesthetic. He insists on a stock-take and wants them to shift their furniture out straightaway, so a carpenter can start on the new fittings. Fallon’s fed up, but resigned to the changes. Later, Fallon tells Natasha they’ll have to store the furniture at Woodbine Cottage and hope they can sell it on quickly. Natasha offers to buy a couple of upcycled chairs for Seren and Nova, then asks Fallon to be honest if there’s something bothering her.

Later, after Fallon’s gone, Natasha tells Tom to cancel the ‘Terum’ name change, before taking him to task over his high-handedness and insensitivity. She feels guilty at forcing through the takeover and insists they be compassionate and show more respect to Fallon, instead of keep trying to put her in her place.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
